PUT YOURSELF

In the arena

Theodore Roosevelt famously praised the person in the arena - the one 'doing the deed', striving valiantly, who may make mistakes, but who gets up and continues the fight.

The International Dementia Conference 2024 will give a platform to those who are bold enough to 'dare greatly' in the difficult arena of complex dementia, palliative care and positive ageing.

We're looking for the innovators, the boundary pushers, the people dealing day by day with the realities of dementia, and who are taking action in response.

These themes are a guide only and you are welcome to submit any topic that you feel may be relevant. If it doesn’t fit in any of these sections, select 'Something else'!

Lived Experience

Papers from people living with dementia and their carers are an important part of the conference. We invite you to share your experience, views, writings, and projects – there are no limits to the topics for discussion. We encourage submissions that represent your different and individual experiences, cultures, ages, and backgrounds.

IDC2024: In the Arena

When it comes to the theatres of life – whether it’s work or play - there’s a big difference between sitting by the sidelines watching the action and being out on the field. The International Dementia Conference 2024 gave a platform to those who are bold enough to take part in the difficult arena of complex dementia, palliative care and positive ageing.

IDC2022: Brave New World

Change was in the air! After four long years, IDC brought delegates back into the same room, in person, for two packed days of challenge and inspiration.

Hundreds of people working for a better future for people living with dementia explored ideas and shared strategies with a vision of creating a Brave New World.
